Seasons

Whimsical

Seasons
As I get older
And my bones creak
Especially my shoulder
I love summer and spring
They are kinder to me

Winter casts its cold hand upon us now
Go away rain fog snow and ice each winters day
Bring me back the long hot days
Of salad and beach and summer drives
And iced lemonade

Bring me back those pink soft flowers of that spring
And let me smell the roses as they tickle up my chin
Bring me back the bbqs and the outdoor chairs

Oh autumn I did like you as well a tad
Even though you weren't as warm and glad
You were still better than these cold
Winter days that have dealt their icy hand
Upon this ours and neighbours land

So let me remember thee oh wonderful
Glorious summers day
Eating apple under old oak trees
And being kids and scraping knees
And running home to mum to say
What's for lunch please
Or going swimming in blue White Sea
And getting up at dawn to see
That sunrise of some new childhood morn
That always beckoned me

Very true indeed. Loved how you have expressed yourself, and I truly enjoyed it from beginning to end. Well done, and I do hope you are able to enjoy upcoming summer season, that is pretty much coming about.

I loved this poem.

Lovely sensitive writing expressing sentiments and thoughts I share

[Samuel Dickens]

These words express thoughts and sentiments I share. (Probably most seasoned folks do, I imagine) When young, I lived each season to the fullest and was undeterred by heat, cold, or anything else. Now, I've got old, creaky bones.
